Library Utilities

We drew utility lines on our library.

We learned some stuff that could be handy in some sort of future event or activity.

Beam Design

We calculated beam stuff.

It Was Different. I learned alot of stuff.

3.2.4

Nuff learned.
Nuff said.

3.2.3

We evaluated the loads the pis provide for beam diagrams.

This project was fun because i really like math in engineering. (rather do math than look stuff up in online books like the past activities.)

Title of post: Keystone Library - Roof Framing

We chose beams for our library based on design loads.

I learned alot about planning beams for buildings and structures.

Keystone Library – Project 3.1.1

This project was fun because it was preety open to creativity. We were given a library and told to turn it into a library with certain constrainsts such as it must contain 2 conference rooms, 1 bathroom on each floor. etc..

Structural Activity

For this project we had to design and build a card tower that needed to be 8 inches tall and be able to hold 5 pounds. We came in second place. Our tower held 5407 grams and had an efficiency rating of 215. In our original structure we only had an efficiency rating of 40.87. So for our design renovations we change the whole design. Instead of triangles we used a circle with cards inbetween for support. 5407 / 25.1 = 215

Structural Activity

Commercial Floor Systems

We researched concrete floors and how to evaluate the size and thickness. Then we added it to the keystone building. I chose cast in place concrete with a thickness of 8".

This project was fast and easy. I feel like i learned alot about concrete.

Comercial Roof Systems

We researched materials and styles of roofs for our library. We then applied a roof to the building. One green and walkable, the other low sloped.

I found that EPDM does support the weight of a garden at http://roofingdoctor.net/rub2.htm. From this site i learned two of my options for a walkable roof were either EPDM or concrete. I chocse EPDM because it is cheaper.

It was nice to see the building start to come together. It was easy to see the application of learning this.

Commercial Wall Systems

in this project we researched the advantages and disadvantages of different wall types in order to decide what wall is beat for the library.

This project was nice because it was constructive, but it was to the point and quick.

Plumbing plan

We took our floor plan from our affordable house and drew a plumbing plan.

This project was a brief illustration of a plumbing plan. It could have been way more in depth.

Affordable House Cite plan

We created a site plan for the house we made in a previous project.

This project was interesting in that we learned some of the norms for site planning.

Daylighting

We revised our allready made affordable houses to include electricity and daylighting (skylights/windows)

In this project i learned codes about outlets and lights. For te first time i had to consider lighting in a house i made.
